Along the way, Noah Drexler walked in front, while Summer Shawcross quietly followed behind, her emotions a tangled mess.

Her mind was chaotic, filled with the words that Mr. Long had just spoken.

There were many questions she wanted to ask, such as why he wanted the antidote formula, and whether he would marry Autumn Duval.

However, her current status seemed to give her no right to ask him anything.

Summer followed Noah all the way until they reached the second floor, at the door of his bedroom, where he suddenly stopped.

Turning his gaze, he glanced at the woman behind him.

Summer also stopped, raised her head, and met the man’s deep black eyes.

He pressed his thin lips together, said nothing, just stared at her for a moment.

In his deep black eyes, there seemed to be a huge energy, making her heart inexplicably steady.

The scattered thoughts that emerged from her inner insecurity just now seemed to be purified in an instant...

Summer paused.

She always felt that this man’s gaze was sharp and cold, making her instinctively avoid eye contact with him.

But at this moment, as she looked into his eyes, she inexplicably felt a great sense of calm...

Clearly, he hadn’t said anything, nor had he explained anything to her.

Summer paused, and at this moment, she realized there seemed to be something interlinked between them.

Just then, Noah suddenly turned, opened the door, and walked inside.

"Why are you still standing there? Come in!" His cold, deep voice followed.

Summer pouted slightly, then followed him inside.

...

When Summer entered the room, Noah was already sitting on the sofa, unbuttoning his suit jacket.

"Come here." Seeing her dawdle through the door, the man couldn’t help but frown and urged.

Hearing his voice, Summer quickened her pace and walked to his side.

But when she got to him, she was surprised to find that he now had an extra... lotus leaf-wrapped package in his hand.

She didn’t know what was wrapped in the lotus leaf, but it looked quite bulging.

What is this?

While Summer was puzzled, looking at the thing in his hand, Noah suddenly handed it to her and casually said.

"Take it."

Hearing this, Summer was momentarily stunned, then reached out and took the package.

A burst of aroma that could whet one’s appetite instantly filled her nose.

Summer opened the lotus leaf, and finally saw what was inside.

When she saw what was inside, a look of great surprise appeared on her face.

"This is..."

Inside the lotus leaf were several pieces of the braised spare ribs that had been on the dining table earlier...

Summer froze and then suddenly recalled that this large lotus leaf had been used as a platter on the dining table...

She didn’t expect he would use it to pack ribs, and there were quite a few pieces.

"For me?" She blinked, wearing a surprised expression.

These ribs... did he specifically bring them out of the restaurant for her?

What intrigued her even more was that he had just walked all the way holding such a package with such composure.

She couldn’t have imagined that a man who never seemed gentle could do something like this...
